Hell, I've got friends where even THAT is too much. You lock them in a closet with the anvil and walk away for ten minutes. Come back and that anvil will either be broken, or pregnant.

Not sure if anyone in here knows, but my Oldest (Air.177 in here), works for Glock USA. He can't pull Rabbits out of Hats, but he is a Contact.

IIRC the problem is exacerbated by the fact that this took place in Indonesia. Hard to ship weapons (in any condition) internationally, especially to countries with restrictive firearms laws. Probably why the miscreant had to borrow a weapon in the first place.

For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.

Bingo (Altho wrong zip code IIRC)

Also the price of legally acquired Glock in that area is rather cost prohibitive
Simply unreal compared to how much I paid with mil discount/blue label, and the free one I won in gssf competition

You’ll see high ranking officers there sporting gen 2 and 3 Glock for prestige, as ours with custom Wilson Combat and Salient Arms!

Like others have said, if you can get Glock to replace under warranty or a small fee, that would be best.

If not, the plastic glock uses is a thermoplastic, which means it can reform from heat. You can use a soldering iron to "plastic weld" the front of the frame back together. I assume the small parts are unregulated and you can order replacements to fix.

If for whatever reason the entire frame is toast, you may look into 3D printing. FDM AM printers are very cheap from china, as little as $160 (as they are simple devices, only real expense being the circuit board, aluminum T-slot beams, step motors, and transformer. A kilo of plastic filament typically costs $9-15, but due to the global plastic shortage right now, they are closer to $20-30. 1kg can make about 5 glock frames. PLA is a good beginner material. 3D printing is easy, it just requires fine tuning the setup as the act of melting plastic in layers is highly dependent on the lot of plastic and the temperature of your workshop. Build an enclosure for your printer to save a lot of headache.

A 3D printed frame will not be as durable as an injected molded frame like an actual commercially available product, but unless you are slamming your glock on concrete, it will work just fine. There are ways to make a 3D printed product almost indiscernible from an injection molded product as well.
